Some cumulus buildups will be possible this afternoon over the higher terrain to the east but are not likely to affect the burn site. These cumulus buildups will gradually increase Friday into the weekend as midlevel moisture slowly increases into the area. Could see isolated dry lightning activity at the burn site Saturday and/or Sunday (accompanied by a threat of brief, gusty microburst winds) before the airmass moistens enough to bring a greater chance of measurable rain by early next week, although wetting rain chances remain on the low side. Otherwise, terrain-driven winds will be relatively through Friday as high pressure drifts over the area, but may see some occasional afternoon gusts up to around 16 mph. .REST OF TODAY...
